After all, if Fleming were like most people he would have just thrown away that moldy bacterial culture and we might still not have penicillin...

Bioquímico?? Miercoles! Quite a shock to know while I sit here listening to Venezuelan voice ensemble group Voz Veis.

You have captured the essence of the theme. A very novel entry. andy

Eureka, Ioana! :) Being a biochemist myself, I appreciate to see in this challenge something related to what I studied in college. Being a photography fan, I appreciate how you emphasized the lightning on the Petri dish and the mold, and the DOF of the pill's jar. Well done! -Jose Pablo.

Thanks for the comments guys! I never lost hope that being a geek will someday come in handy even outside of work... See, Cat, unlike you, I don't throw away mold, I keep it in my fridge for a long, long time - you never know when you might want to use it for a challenge (this is my second time - maybe "mold" should have been my signature....). Rod, that scribble on the bottom is the chemical structure of penicillin G, and yes, I had to look it up.

I had something that looked like what's in the dish on a cracker last night, but I passed on the ecstasy tab though:-) Terrific shot for this challenge Ioana, what could have more need for curiosity than science? By the way the answer to the equation at the bottom is 43 ....................I think
